On This Day
An early Martin Keown 🏴 strike is enough to secure Villa the points as a strong rearguard action and a Gary Shaw 🏴 cameo on his final appearance keeps Villa clear at the top of the table.
Graham Taylor's 🏴 Villa have now 🟥 lost just once in twenty three Division Two games, 🟩 winning fourteen.
League and European Cup winning Villa forward Gary Shaw 🏴 26 makes his 212th & final appearance in a Villa shirt before moving on to BK Frem Copenhagen in May 1988. Shaw played for Villa between 1978 and 1988 leaving with a record of 🟩 W98 🟨 D46 🟥 L68, ⚽ 79 Goals & 🔥 22 Assists. Sadly injuries had stalled Shaw's career however as he made just 18 appearances over his final four seasons with the club.
Villa now boasted just one player who had won the title seven years earlier - defender Allan Evans 🏴.
Centre forward Garry Thompson 🏴 makes his 🕒 50th appearance in a Villa shirt to make it 🟩 W16 🟨 D15 🟥 L19, ⚽ 14 Goals and 🔥 7 Assists at a rate of one goal involvement for every 2.38 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
